213Hoops: The Lob, The Jam, The Podcast

Shap & Andrew Greif (@AndrewGreif) of the Los Angeles Times chat about a huge day for the Clippers, where the team, after much discussion, finally agreed to sign Russell Westbrook off of his buyout with the Utah Jazz. Listen as Andrew talks about the discussion that led to the signing, where the Clippers felt they were vs. the decision to bring in the former MVP, and how it affects the current significant players in the rotation.

Lucas Hann, Mike Jaglin, and Cole Huff discuss how the new Clippers are settling in, a potential playoff matchup with the Phoenix Suns, and the team's win in Phoenix heading into the All-Star Break.

Shap, Justin (@laclippersfilm), & Jamal (@JamCristopher) have a lot to talk about as the Clippers offense was filled of good process, paint touches, and clean looks. The defense have some kinks to be worked out, & the rotation may be a juggle, but the pieces just seem to fit a bit better. The guys talk about Kawhi & Norm continuing to sizzle, how the new guys looked, Describe One Play, & a crucial game coming up against the Suns.

Lucas & Shap touch base on the Kawhi-less Clips taking on the Bucks without their new additions and well, it's not too surprising what the result was. The Clippers did well to keep it close but lost 119-106 to a still quite good Bucks team that also was missing some guys. The duo then talk big picture about some of the trade additions and the team going forward, & react to Paul George continuing to lobby for Russell Westbrook.

In the 213Hoops Trade Deadline Recap special, Lucas Hann and Robert Flom discuss Kevin Durant's move to Phoenix and how it affects the Western Conference. Then, they break down each of the three trades the Clippers made and how the new players fit into the system before looking at how the team fared at the deadline overall, and the outlook of potentially adding a player on the buyout market.
